I saw this the other day and even though it very applies to me 12ish years ago with Loki, it ALSO now applies to me and Sauron…
Tumblr post stating: “You can’t fix him” I don’t wanna fix him. I wanna FUCK him! I’m a pervert not a psychologist!

Omg just as I was talking about True Blood just the other day, I only actually went and saved the gif of Russell killing the newsreader. Thanks 20something Cath, no idea why you thought you'd ever need this gif tbh 😂

Um... hello Haladriel (Annatariel) friends. Have what was (for several weeks) a very unexpected update...

The Haunting of Dol Guldur
Rating: E
Chapter 4/5
Art: thatsouthernanthem

(Please be mindful that this is Gothic Horror/Romance while reading this chapter!)

archiveofourown.org/works/728880...
A series of arches/catacombs with a slither of daylight in a Gothic arch window in the far background with the title "The Haunting of Dol Guldur" in red text in the bottom right corner. Artwork of a woman with long blonde hair (Galadriel) looking at herself in a mirror while holding up a long blue dress while the ghost of a man with long blond hair (Annatar) stands just behind her.

I commissioned @thatsouthernanthem.bsky.social to draw a scene from my Haladriel oneshot Metamorphosis.

(I asked for something from the smutty part and she picked perhaps the only moment where they're not biting/scratching/slapping/strangling each other 😂 But it's so lovely ❤️)
Artwork of a blonde woman/elf (Galadriel) straddling a brown-red haired man (Sauron.) They're both naked and kissing, surrounded by flowers and grass. NSFW because you can see a bit of Sauron's penis ("just the tip" as men are often fond of saying lmao.)

I was going through older photos just now and... I always worry about serious photographers on here perceiving me (because I'm mainly a silly fangirl/fic writing account) but a couple more favourites that I hadn't posted yet from my B&W Glasgow/Glasgow uni batch last year...
Black and white photo of a Brutalist-style staircase winding up three flights and surrounded by trees. Black and white photo of a series of catacomb-style arches photographed from underneath with a large and two small columns centred in the image. There's is a courtyard beyond just visible through a Gothic arch in the background.

The light was actually very changeable on that day. Here's another one from a few minutes before where, admittedly having the sun directly in the shot wasn't my best choice, but it was obscured by clouds and I think this actually looks cool even with the shadows.
Film photo of a river with buildings in the background partially reflected in the water. The sun is in the centre of the shot obscured by clouds and creating a series of interesting shadows and light contrasts in the water.

My photos came back from the lab over the weekend and I think I was a wee bit obsessed with reflection when I was in Leith a couple of weeks ago...
Film photograph of a footbridge made from blue girders stretching over a river with flats (of black, orange and white bricks and panels) in the top left corner. Everything is reflected in the very still surface of the water.

This wee cutie was sitting in the rain meowing and started following me to the hairdresser. Had it dancing around my feet and rubbing the hem of my great coat.

I didn’t want to “steal” someone’s cat so had to leave him/her but I hope the meowing was for attention and the owner is around 😢

I really love when things reflect in the water.

A lot of you know that I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Loki series, there were parts I liked but overall I was a little upset by it.

For some reason I decided to order this fucking thing over a year ago and now I’m conflicted.

Do I enjoy Loki and his glorious actual hair or rip-off another fan?

I was talking to someone about my David Rose themed bookmark yesterday so behold Booksky, my occasional Schitt’s Creek brainrot meeting my extensive reading habit. I’m very fond of this.
A black and white bookmark with a lightning pattern at the top and the words (in all capitals) “I’m trying very hard not to connect with people right now.“

Complete (subject to final revisions) 🥹

(I know 99 pages is pretty pathetic, but this is probably one of the longest things I've finished so I'll take it, while being annoyed I JUST missed 100.)

Proof that I endured Ikea on a Saturday in early January. Because in many ways, I’m proudly basic.

I picked this for my first book of 2026. Despite being a wee bit younger that the author/characters, so far I’ve been transported back to my childhood about half a dozen times.

Yo, what the fuck? Why does this look like this?

Somehow I've written nearly 1000 words for Haunting of Dol Guldur this evening, so it seems I might be back on my Annatariel bullshit after all.

(And yes, I'm also copying a tiny bit of TWIB's homework now too, because no haunted house story is safe from my clutches!)

“There’s no such thing as ghosts, Nori,” says Galadriel, swaying her head dismissively from side to side. “Our experiences here are just… unprocessed trauma. I know that now.” “I saw him this morning, Galadriel!” Dr. Pilgrim interrupts. “Forgive me Ms. Brandyfoot but, who did you see?” Nori scrutinise each person in turn, as though she weighs up the cost of what she will reveal. “You saw the Earl,” deduces Disa. “Many spectres have allegedly been spotted within these walls, but never him. Some say if you do see him, you won’t be here to tell it.” “Well I saw him,” Nori insists. “And it looked like he was having…” she pauses, blushing. “Relations with Galadriel.” “How dare you!” Galadriel snarls. “Admit you’re making it up.” Nori stamps her foot. “I know what I saw! And this is precisely why we need to get you away from this house. You’re not thinking. Do you have any idea how insane this is, to indulge such dark powers? Willingly.”
